  • Press Freedom Dynamics in Bangladesh
    Chapter 7 Press Freedom Dynamics in Bangladesh Amina Khatun, Janina Islam Abir, Mofizur Rhaman & Md. Golam Rahman This chapter explores the state of freedom of expression and press freedom in Bangla- desh and how religion, in particular, influences these issues. More specifically, through content analyses of some selected newspapers and in-depth interviews with journal- ists, experts and civil society representatives, this chapter reveals the barriers to press freedom and how the politics of religion is related to press freedom and freedom of expression in the country. Past political situations, especially military rule and the struggle for democracy, have created an unstable situation for the press in Bangladesh. Moreover, religious extremism, intolerance and politics of religion jeopardize the socio-political situa- tion of the country time and again. The period from February to March 2013 was particularly decisive as the people at this time became sharply divided on the issue of International War Crimes Tribunal1 and its first verdict in the case of Abdul Quader Mollah2. Millions of people gathered at Shahbug Square3 for more than two months and stayed there day and night, chanting slogans in favour of justice for war heroes and ensuring capital punishment for war criminals. People from all walks of lives, mainstream media as well as social media, became part of the movement. There was, of course, a section of people and media who played a more subtle role and spoke out against this movement, and the media soon became a battlefield where the war was fought by different stakeholders – proponents as well as opponents of the International War Crimes Tribunal.

The Organisation unconditionally stands by the victims of oppression and maintains no prejudice with regard to political leanings or ideological orientation, race, religion or sex. In line with this campaign, Odhikar prepares and releases human rights status reports every month. The Organisation has prepared and disseminated this human rights monitoring report of July 2018, despite facing persecution and continuous harassment and threats to its existence since 2013.

  • Problem and Prospects of the Dalia Barrage Project, Bangladesh
    Rural Poverty Alleviation through Large-scale Irrigation Planning: Problem and Prospects of the Dalia Barrage Project, Bangladesh Yoshiro Higano ῍ Md. Fakrul Islam ῍῍ ῌ Introduction Bangladesh is predominantly a rural country in nature, and nearly 85% of the population live in villages1῍. No less than 70% of the vast rural population is engaged in agriculture. The rate of literacy is 63%2῍. The agricultural labor force especially in the northern part of the country remains idle for a considerable part of the year. The majority of the rural population live in poverty with an annual per capita income of only US$340. One of the world’s most densely populated nations, Bangladesh, in the 1980s, was caught in the vicious cycle of population expansion and poverty. Bangladesh is one of the most disaster-prone countries of the world. Frequent natural disasters like flood, coastal cyclones, droughts occur almost every year and cause a huge loss in agriculture and the national economy. At the household level, floods bring misery, suffering, and substantial loss of crops and assets and at the national level, floods not only disrupt economic activity but also significantly reduce future growth potential. Bangladesh is criss-crossed by about 700 rivers3῍, which mark both the physiography of the country and the life of the people. These rivers generally flow to the southῌto the Bay of Bengal, which not only cause misery for the people but also every year they bring alluvial sediments and make the land more fertile, help to produce more crops. In spite of an expansion of population and predominant agrarian economy, such land can produce sufficient food to feed the population of Bangladesh, if proper modernization policy and planning can be implemented.

The dialogues are designed to address important policy issues and to seek constructive solutions to these problems. Over the past years, CPD has organised a series of such dialogues at local, regional and national levels. CPD has also organised a number of South Asian bilateral and regional dialogues as well as international dialogues to pursue for the LDC interests in various fora including WTO, UN and other multilateral organisations. These dialogues have brought together ministers, opposition frontbenchers, MPs, business leaders, NGOs, donors, professionals and other functional groups in the civil society within a non-confrontational environment to promote focused discussions. CPD seeks to create a national policy consciousness where members of civil society will be made aware of critical policy issues affecting their lives and will come together in support of particular policy agendas which they feel are conducive to the well-being of the country.

Since the Yearbook’s inception, state practice has always been reported and written up as country reports. While this format has served us well in the intervening years, we felt that it would make a lot more sense if we reported state practice thematically, rather than geographically. This way, readers will have an opportunity to zoom in on a particular topic of interest and get a quick overview of develop- ments within the region. Of course, this reorganization cannot address our lack of coverage in some Asian states. We aim to improve on this in forthcoming volumes and thank the contributors to this section for their tireless and conscientious work. 187 Kevin Y.L.
